A
n engineering company has successfully defended its trademark in a high-stakes case against a real estate developer who attempted to use the "Dewberry" name for a hotel. The company, which had previously won millions of dollars in damages, recently presented its case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

    The dispute centers on the developer's attempt to capitalize on the engineering firm's reputation by using a similar name for their hospitality venture. The court will now consider the implications of trademark infringement and the extent to which businesses can protect their brand identities.
